    Achtung Baby voted best album in last 25 years

    by Spin magazine: 125 Best Albums of the Past 25 Years | Spin Magazine Online Have to say 'The Joshua Tree' has always been my favourite (it suffers greatly from ubiquity). None the less it's great to see ABs genius being recognised. :up:

    Bono's 'Supposed' Africa Lecturing

    Over the last 4/5 years every anti-Bono blog that I've read has always mentioned Bono lecturing concert crowds on how the 'West' should support Africa with aid. I have to say that I'm a bit bemused by this because I have never found Bono to be 'lecturing' on this subject. Yes he mentions it...

    Alan McGee on U2

    Just came across the following article by Alan McGee; don't remember it being posted here before. It's always interesting to hear other peoples view on U2, especially those within the music industry. Personally speaking, I think he's absolutely clueless. U2 make great songs, but where are...

    A question about Live-Aid Bad

    I always thought that Bono ended up dancing with the girl because the others he wanted couldn't be extracted from the crowd. But... if you look at the footage they are clearly out of the crowd but Bono ignores them. What's that about? Not the most important post ever I admit, but I'm...

    I love this quote from Larry - End of Zoo TV era

    I read this tonight and thought it was quite brilliant: "In comparison to a lot of people in our position we don't make a lot of money. We've chosen instead to retain our dignity and also to give ourselves more time making music. By putting on a show like this we are not making any money, but...

    Bono all emotional at Live 8?

    Is it just me or does Bono come over all emotional during Blackbird at the end of Beautiful Day? Just look at Edge , the way he laughs at him and turns away. Thoughts?

    80's Bloody Sunday or Bad?

    I've recently watched both the Live Aid and Rattle & Hum DVDs. IMO Sunday Bloody Sunday blows the Live Aid version of Bad away, much more unique and emotional. Any thoughts?

    MERGED-->New Song - Nothern Star+New song, 'North Star', for next album mentioned...

    New Song - Nothern Star Taken from the interview with Steve Lillywhite on U2.com, thought it interesting: "It’s interesting how U2 incubate songs. There are a few great songs incubating that will be on the next album. One is called ‘North Star’, about Johnny Cash. ". Anyone heard mention of this?

    Scottish reaction to ticket chaos

    This is taken from the Scotland on Sunday Newspaper. It sounds like the journalist (Siobhan Synnot) has never liked U2 and is willing to lie to prove a point. I'd be interested in peoples thoughts on this article. Pub rock and earnest sermonising? That'll be £40 please IN A skit for "U2...

    How original was Boy?

    I ask this question because my wife and I were given Franz Ferdinand & The Killers debut albums as presents this Christmas. While I think both sound good, they sound sooooo.. completely unoriginal to me. Did Boy have a unigue sound?

    Heaven and Hell question(s)

    How did it never make it onto an album? :ohmy: :ohmy:, it's absolutely brilliant... :drool: Does anyone think we may see it by a different name on a future album? It's a long time since it was originally written I know but this song is just too good to never to release.
